Guilty

I witnessed something return full-circle recently. I too have been judgemental. Oh, how the tables quickly turn. I always tell my loved ones that God has a wonderful sense of humour. He can allow you to revisit situations so quickly. I am guilty of judging others' situations before my stuff is straight. I try to be mindful of that now. I try not to look down on someone because of their current situation, because I know that God can quickly turn things around and things are not always as they seem. I also know that it is not helpful, but hurtful to speak negatively against someone. I am trying to practice what I preach. If someone is going through something, rather than down them, why not help them. If you can't help them, them pray for them. If you don't want to pray for them, then just keep quiet! Could that be too difficult for some of us?

I wonder why some people find pleasure in others' displeasures? Why is it that some find discomfort in others' joy? I experienced that this weekend. My family and I were sharing some positive news with a few folks and their body language and facial expressions were so hateful and resentful. To contrast, at the mention of bad news, the facial expressions and attitudes transformed into excitement. The thought of this puzzles me.

If any of you have any insight into this subject, please post your opinions and comments. I am open for discussion.
